Abstract

Universities carry out studies on the satisfaction of its students as it allows analyzing the quality of these institutions and inferring important features of the functioning of the curriculum they teach. The objectives of this research are: to determine the satisfaction of the students involved in the curriculum of the degree in Pedagogy and to identify whether there are significant differences of opinion between the different courses. A descriptive-exploratory study survey is conducted, supported on analysis of variance, ANOVA, post-hoc. The student population is made up of 281 students from the first, second, third and fourth year of Pedagogy at the University of Valencia. The results reveal that the students surveyed have a positive degree of satisfaction with the degree; however, they are more critical when making an overall assessment of the plan and the relationship established between their studies and their applicability in the workplace. On the other hand, differences between courses are detected. First-year students are more critical with the teaching guides and the organization of the plan, while third-year students are more critical about the relationship between business and academia. In conclusion, changes and improvements should be made in the curriculum of the degree in order to meet the demands identified by the students in this study, especially those related to providing more information and knowledge about the professional possibilities of the degree.
